Overview

The Global Industry Tools is a web-based application for the pre-validation of trade submission data to the Global Trade Repository service for both derivatives and securities jurisdictions. It is a self-service utility that enables standalone testing and verification of submissions.

  • The Global Industry Tools is accessible as a tile on MyDTCC.
  • There are separate Global Industry Tools for the PSE and Production Environments.

Utilize the Global Industry Tools to ensure acceptance of your submissions into the Global Trade Repository service. You can test the validations beforehand to confirm that your reported trades are successfully processed.

The Global Industry Tools provide access to the same pre-validation functionality and rules available in the legacy jurisdiction-specific Industry Tools. However, the application is now delivered as a single web-based application with an intuitive user interface and an improved user experience.

The Identifier Service generates UTIs (Unique Trade Identifiers) that you can download into .csv and JSON formats.

Functionality

No. The Global Industry Tools provide the same pre-validation functionality and rules available in the legacy jurisdiction-specific industry tools.

  • Only stateless validations (validations that do not require any stored data) are simulated.
  • The simulator does not validate LEIs against the GLIEF database, action types, or any other reference data lookups.

The allowable file formats are the same as the GTR ingestion rules:

  • CFTC/Canada/SEC: CSV, FpML and XML
  • JFSA: XML
  • EU EMIR XML
  • UK EMIR: XML
  • FINMA: XML
  • ASIC/MAS: XML
  • EU/UK SFTR: XML
  • UK MiFID II ARM: CSV, XML

You can submit only one submission file at a time. This submission file can contain multiple trades.

  • CSV: 1,000 records for CSV
  • FpML: 100 records
  • XML: 15 MB maximum file size

Note

The simulator does not reject files with submissions above the thresholds. However, it only

Ignore this field. DTCC teams use it internally and it will eventually be removed.

No. The simulator does not validate LEIs against the GLIEF database, action types, or any other reference data lookups.

The Global Industry Tool validation rules are aligned with the current ingestion rules for each jurisdiction.

The Rules Definition tab lists the required rules for the trades on a submission to ACK (or pass).

You can download the message template for a specific jurisdiction from the DTCC Learning Center.

No, please remove the header and footer from the submission file to successfully transform and validate your trades.

No. The Global Industry Tools Simulator provides the list of all the rejected trades due to an invalid schema. You must drill through the simulation results to find the error.

Release Timing and Rewrites/Refits

Yes. Log into the Global Industry Tools simulator production environment (https://portal.dtcc.com/) to pre-validate your trade submissions with the existing rules.

Yes.

UPI fields are fully integrated into the Simulator component Global Industry Tools As per the current plan, the global simulator with UPI-related validation for the trades will be available in UAT before the jurisdictional ingestion implementation.

Access and Troubleshooting

If you had access to any of the regional industry tools, you are automatically permissioned with access to Global Industry Tools. If you do not have a regional industry tools access, contact your SAC for permissioning.

You must have a new distributed User ID to access Global Industry Tools. DTCC will only migrate distributed User IDs for permission.

  • If you have access to an existing regional simulator and login with your Global User ID, log in with your new distributed ID to access the Global Industry Tools.
  • If you do not have a distributed ID, DTCC will create a new ID permissioned with access.

If you currently have access to MyDTCC (encompassing the Production and/or User-Acceptance Testing (UAT) environments) and/or are a user of an existing jurisdiction-specific Industry Tool, you are automatically provisioned with the access to the new Global Industry Tools application.

The session times out after thirty minutes of inactivity. You must log back in to access the application.
